I really looked forward to reading this book as I recently visited Paris and fell in love with this magical city. And I'm a book lover, so what a perfect title for me to enjoy. Sadly, the story started out great, reading about Jean Perdu and his ability to 'prescribe' a book to cure the reader's illness/needs. And being docked on the Seine, how marvelous! But the story disconnects when Perdu reads a long-lost letter from his former lover, pulls up anchor and sails thru numerous canals to the south of France to mend his heart. Story somewhat rambles, I lost interest but slogged thru, hoping for redemption at the end. Nah, it just turns into another love story. A little sad, somewhat enjoyable though disconnected so I just can't give a lot of praise.
